Eliot was an American pop punk band formed in 2007 in Birmingham, Alabama, United States, by twin sisters Katie (guitars, vocals) and Allison Crutchfield (drums).

Katie and Allison Crutchfield formed their first band, the Ackleys, in high school, along with Michael McClellan and Carter Wilson.

They recorded some music on a small label run by Aaron Hamilton, owner of the Birmingham venue Cave 9 before its members went to different colleges, resulting in the band splitting up.

In 2012, the band posted a 15-song release on Bandcamp called Demonstrations, which includes demos and home-recordings of songs from across their discography.

Critic Robert Christgau reviewed both of the band's full-length albums, writing of the 2011's Sadie: "Simultaneously hesitant and forthright, singer Katie Crutchfield sounds above all brave as she pronounces and occasionally mispronounces her lyrics, which dwell on botched communication both verbal and emotional ...

"[6] The Crutchfields' decision to split up their band was also influenced by the fact that they were each living in different cities and had other musical projects they considered more important.
